CALLIANTHEMUM (from kallos, beauty, and anthe- 
mon, a blossom). ORD. Ranunculacee. A genus embracing 
what were formerly described as five’ species of alpine 
herbs, natives of the mountains of Europe and Asia, but 
which Sir J. Hooker now regards as mere forms of one. 
It is a highly glabrous, almost stemless, perennial. Petals 
ten to fifteen, broad or narrow. Leaves radical, triangular, 
decompound. Rhizome rather thick. The beautiful variety 
here described requires similar culture to Anemone 
(which see).’

a. white or pale rose-coloured, lin. to l4in. in diameter ; sepals

a small, sessile leaf. March.

This genus embraces about thirty species, mostly found in 
Eastern Asia, Malaya, and North Australia; a few are 
Polynesian, Columbian,and West Indian. To those described 
on p. 242, Vol. I., the following should be added : 
C. cana (hoary). jl. purple, in a globose cyme lin. to 2in. in 
diameter. fr. deep purple, finally black. 7. broadly elliptic, 
shortly acuminate at both ends, 44in. long, 24in. broad, sharply 
erenate-toothed, glabrous above, stellate-tomentose beneath.

CALLIPSYCHE. According to J. G. Baker, this 
genus consists of only the three species described on 
p. 242, Vol. I., all of which are found on the Andes. 
Flowers, many in an umbel; perianth funnel-shaped, the 
tube short, the segments equal, oblanceolate-oblong; 
stamens affixed at the throat of the perianth, much 
exserted; peduncle hollow; spathe valves ovate-lanceolate. 
Leaves thin, oblong, petiolate. 
CALLIRHOE. Seven species of this genus are known. 
Calyx five-cleft; petals purplish, pink, or white, cuneiform, 
truncate, and often fimbriate-denticulate. Leaves mostly 
lobed or parted. To the species described on p. 243, Vol L., 
the following should now be added: 
C. alezoides (Alcza-like). fl. rose-coloured, or white, corymbose, 
on slender peduncles; involucel none. J., lower ones triangular- 
cordate, incised; upper ones five- to seven-parted, laciniate; 
uppermost ones divided into linear segments. Stems slender,

CALLISIA (from kallos, beauty). Orp. Commelinacee. 
A small genus (four species) of slender, creeping, stove 
herbs, natives of tropical America, allied to Tradescantia. 
Flowers small, usually cymose; sepals and petals distinct ; 
stamens free; bracts sometimes linear and scariose, some- 
times very small or even obsolete. Leaves ovate, acute, or 
elliptic-lanceolate, the upper ones almost sessile, ochreous. 
Stem ascending, simple or paniculately branched above. 
C. Martensiana, the only species calling for mention here, 
thrives in a compost of sandy loam and peat, and may be 
propagated by divisions of the creeping stem. 
C. Martensiana (Martens'). jl. white, ae ol panicle

CALLISTEPHUS. The China Asters show con- 
siderable advance. Old favourites like Peony Perfection, 
Victoria, Chrysanthemum-Flowered, and Bouquet have 
been still further improved by the florists, until it looks 
as if perfection as regards form of flower and compact- 
ness of growth had been reached; while several 
noteworthy additions to the different sections have 
also been made. ‘The best are: 
Comet or Plume.* This is a very distinct and beautiful 
section, characterised by flowers having beautifully-curled 
etals, reminding one+forcibly of Japanese santhemums. 
The colour-shades are numerous, and include white, crimson, 
purple, rose, and soft blues. fA. from 10in. to lft. Then there 
are the Giant Comets, which attain a height of 15in. 
Singles. These have a free and branching habit, pretty, rich 
foliage, and very large flowers, having but a single row of 
ale mauve 
border.
